Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: File Browser at 5.0 against Video Player 's 4.1. File Browser also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 2 months). Video Player 's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ratings volume (7 vs 1). On price and monetization model there is nothing between them.
